V , E1 il Dani.- , Y Ghz Suurnalism diluh Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Yes, it's the future journalists of America - that is, they will be, if they can learn the difference between news, feature, and editorial styles of writing. Everyone has an individual style of writing. It is the purpose of the Journalism Club to help interested students discover and develop his style. Now we come to the important function of the club - WTHE PIONEERN. In previous years the Pioneer, the school paper, was printed by expert printers. This year the club acquired a mimeograph machine. This method of publication has proven much more interesting since it offers the members of the club a chance for some original work in drawing, setting up the paper, and nu erous other things. The Pioneer staff is very proud of this year's publications. Ray Ward, staff artist, has done numerous clever things on those stencils with his little styli. Editor-in-Chief, Marion Benson, did much to make the paper a success. Her assistants - June Abigail, Feature Editorg James Anzulovic, News Editor, Joe Cashman and Patty Day, Sports Editorsg Doris Asher, Typist, Ray-ward, Art Editorg and Rose Nudo, Advisorg spent many hours on each issue proof-reading, correcting, typing, drawing, and mimeographing before the issue was completed. Martha Likens took things in hand after all was complete to see that everyone received his copy of the paper. Many of our boys in the service receive the school paper each month. Mary Jane Townsend's valuable contributions in the way of Editorials and features have been noted by all. we know the Pioneer will continue through the years, and it is our hope that it will grow bigger and better with the school.

lv 4' s I The pupils of Greenbelt High School, by selling war bonds and stamps, bought two jeeps. The elementary School pupils bought four jeeps and a motorcycle. We presented our jeeps on May 18, 1945 to the 76th Inf. S i r Class Joe of Fort Meade. The president of the en o , Cashman, spoke o the behalf of the high school students. Captain Lewis Marcy expressed the appreciation of the Army for the cooperation of the pupils that had been given in the selling of war bonds and stamps. Staff Sergeant Earl Burson, U. S. Army, who had been in the commando raid on Dieppe, spoke briefly concerning the morale and fortitude of French, English, and American soldiers. We, the pupils, bought jeeps for the Army. When we ive jeeps it builds up tha morale of the boys on the land, 5 on the sea, and in the air. we should keep trying to sell d the service stamps and bonds because our future depen s upon men. By buying the bonds we show that we are proud to be Americans-we're glad to be able to support those who fight while we study. V Ri ha d s ernon c r s

V Bramatics Club The Dramatios club under the direction of Miss Younger is one of the really successful organizations of the school. Each year they entertain the public with at least two performances. One of these is the senior class play and this year they choose 'June ladn. It was a roaring sumess just as 'Skidding' was. Jane Stone as president has a helpful staff of officers with Doris Keplinger, June Abigail, and Anne Childress on the list. We've found that they not only produce fine plays, but revise them here and there to fit typical Greenbelt life. One could go on and on about the actors, but perhaps the best we can say in the way of praise is that they are a talented group and deserve a lot of credit. Of course, they have lot of fun and will remember all their lives the practices, dress rehersals, and then finally the real thing. Everyone is nervous - everyone is worried - everyone is dead tired when the curtain first rises. It's well worth the work, though, because all of Greenbelt enjoys and looks forward to the work of the club. 4 XJ-+1-Lf iq T 53W 44455- l MPN ,'. 1 bd 'i ., Y 5 R' I X. I , Kidelei-
